Heat Transfer and Material Flow in Friciton Stir Lap Welding of Al Alloy/ Steel
The heat transfer and material flow behavior during friction stir lap welding (FSLW) of Al alloy 5052 and high-strength steel DP590 were numerically simulated based on the coupled Euler-Lagrangian finite element method (CEL-FEM). The predicted results of the temperature histories and the deformation profile of the weld matched well with the experimental measurements. The simulation results show that when the welding speed is kept constant at 300 mm/min, as the rotation speed increases from 500 r/min to 1 000 r/min, the peak temperature position of the stirring zone is transferred from the Al alloy surface behind the shoulder on the advancing side (AS) to the bottom of the stirring pin, that is, the interface of the steel stirring zone. Meanwhile, the peak temperature increases from 545 °C to 635 °C during the welding process. Regardless of rotation speed, the temperature on the AS is always higher than that of the retreating side (RS). The material migration was studied by the tracer particle method. The Al alloy materials on the AS are eventually transferred to the rear region of the AS, bypassing the RS via the inner shear region, which is close to the stirring pin and shoulder root. The Al alloy materials on the RS were mainly migrated to the ipsilateral rear, and the migration trajectory is more divergent. The stirring pin acts on the Al/steel overlapping surface, driving the steel materials on the AS to move to the RS rear of the stirring pin and simultaneously extruding the steel materials into the Al weld area in the vertical direction. The steel material that migrates from the AS to the RS as the pin rotates eventually causes the RS to form a larger-sized hook-like structure. Compared with the Al alloy side, the increase in rotating speed more significantly enhances the material flow on the steel surface.
